Code won't work but looks ok

Here is my code;

<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php 
function displayName() {
    echo "James";
}
displayName();
?>
</body>
</html>

what i don’t understand is, why doesn’t it work? according to the sample, the format and wording is correct and the code looks fine and it prints out James but its not passing.

i keep getting this error: Oops, try again. It looks like your function doesn't echo or print anything!

ok, figured it out. You don’t have the < p> </ p> elements in your php.

<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <p> <!-- <p> -->
        <?php
            $myname = "Spyros";
           $length = strlen("Spyros");
          echo $length;
        ?>
      </p> <!-- </p> -->
    </body>
</html>
